"Bless my wife! I will never meet a woman that I will love as I love her."
So said Friday Jones in the midst of trying desperately to keep his enslaved family together. In this true account of slavery in America, Jones relates the many ways he resisted his masters, bargained with them, and fought with them, all while trying to keep his wife and children from being sold away from him. From 1854 until the end of the Civil War, he was successful in keeping his wife and some of their eleven children around him in Raleigh, NC.
One of the most horrific injustices of Southern slavery was the cruel and degrading way families were ripped apart. In this autobiography, we meet one man who risked it all to save his family.
For the first time, this long-out-of-print book is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
